Development of Anisotropic Magnetized Viscosity for Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion Simulations in FLASH
Ashwyn Sam, Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Scott Davidson +7
Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) operates in a regime where anisotropic transport phenomena fundamentally influence implosion dynamics. In strongly magnetized plasmas, the…
Analysis of Preheat Propagation in MagLIF-like Plasmas
Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Scott Davidson, C. Leland Ellison +6
The preheating and pre-magnetization of fusion fuel are key features in Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) configurations. Typically, the energy of the preheat laser is depo…
Validation of FLASH for magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion target design
C. Leland Ellison, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Chiatai Chen +20
FLASH is a widely available radiation magnetohydrodynamics code used for astrophysics, laboratory plasma science, high energy density physics, and inertial confinement fusion. Incr…
Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion
Andrew Alexander, Laura Robin Benedetti, Indrani Bhattacharyya +63
High-yield inertial fusion offers a transformative path to affordable clean firm power and advanced defense capabilities. Recent milestones at large facilities, particularly the Na…
Opportunities in Pulsed Magnetic Fusion Energy
C. Leland Ellison, Vincent Garcia, Matthew Gomez +13
Fusion is a potentially transformational energy technology, which promises limitless clean energy. Yet, it requires continued scientific and technological development to realize it…
